    He made a lot of money on the back end of the major movies. A lot of production companies will pay the actor, actress less up front to stay in budget then pay them royalties after the movie does well. You will notice after a movie does well they get paid less or a little more than the previous movie for the sequel to get a bigger payday on the backend. Especially if the sequel can't be done without them then they can demand royalties which pay continuously long after it's released.

    everyone is looking at the paycheck but what is not being shown (no offense to this channel!) is the residual checks some A list actors get when their agent negotiates their deals. Those movie executives and producers rather pay low at first just incase the movie flops but when it doesnt flop, the actor gets a monthly or quarterly check from the residuals of the movie. now imagine how much money he is worth now. probably $800 Mil all together in realistic terms

      Thank you for bringing this up, @rickygonzales-z4e! It's true that I can't find details on monthly or yearly residuals, but I do uncover long-term residual summaries-like the staggering sum Jack Nicholson earned for Batman. I can also find fairly close estimates of box office earnings cuts. Whenever there's a report about backend deals, I do my best to include those amounts in the paycheck figures I present.

    I would argue that a movie that made 25 times its budget should be counted in the All Time Titan Group as well. Unsure what all goes into counting as an All Time Titan I know you aren't just looking at Revenue, but Pulp Fiction is not only a Cult Classic, it was a box office behemoth. It was Top 10 worldbox office for that year and one of only 3 movies that were R Rated In the Top 10. 1994 was a tough year man. Lion King, Forrest Gump, Dumb and Dumber, Speed, and The Mask plus a ton of other great movies in the top 25. Had serious competition every week. Hell Jim Carrey had 3 movies in the top 20. Man now that I look through the list Sheesh Top 125 for the year has some heavy hitters. Might be one of the all time best years for quality movies.

    • @BoxOfficeJoe
      @BoxOfficeJoe  22 дні тому

      Thank you for bringing this up, @Neog2! In my definition, an "All-Time Titan" is among the top 50 highest-grossing movies of the decade. In the 1990s, as you mentioned, the competition was fierce, so the entry threshold for an ATT was $300M. Pulp Fiction fell short of that, but as you said, it made a LOT compared to its budget, so it would be fair to call it a "Breakout Hit"-a term used for low-budget, highly successful movies that don’t achieve ATT status. I introduced the "Breakout Hit" label just recently, after this video, so Pulp Fiction missed it. I'm continuously refining my labeling strategy, and input like yours really helps, so thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts!

    A lot of acors get paid one of two ways, they take a full payout of a increased salary that comes out of the budget or they take a smaller paid salary from the budget and then In their contract they get payed off of residualcs, ticket sales by moviegoers, a percentage of themovies gross kind of like a commission and many other ways. So while his payout we saw in this video as an actor in his movies may not seem like a lot, this could only be a third of what SLJ really made.

He's playing a role that any 2 bit actor could play and he's turned that into a fortune plus I believe he was on the Marvel TV show too and has been in various other marvel works because of it plus probably video games and certainly commercials. All for playing a role that requires no acting.

    • @BoxOfficeJoe

      The trick is that he usually plays a very important role but with limited screen time. As a result, his paycheck is smaller. However, when you think about it, he works significantly less than the actual main characters in his movies. So no, he's not underpaid at all. - Also, the royalties are included in the figures you see in the video.
